Thai AirAsia considers merger to overcome Covid-19 impact


BANGKOK: Thai AirAsia Co Ltd (TAA) is considering to merge with another low-cost carrier to clamp down on pricing wars as the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has severely impacted the aviation sector.

TAA executive chairman Tassapon Bijleveld told Bangkok Post that if tourism activities did not resume in the country by July, the company would begin laying off its employees, downsizing the company and its fleet to keep the business alive.
